Discussion
Arctic high pressure is in control across the Mid-Atlantic region and we’ll to experience bitter cold conditions until later in the week. Temperatures today and on Wednesday will do not better than around 20 degrees for afternoon highs and single digits are quite likely for overnight lows. An upper-level disturbance will push through the area later in the day and it can bring some snow shower activity to the DC metro region from later today into early tonight. Elsewhere, a southern storm will bring snow and ice to unusual places through tonight extending all the way from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas.
